AGenerous Governor.

Between 500 and 600 newsboys APP
peared on the streets this evening in
new suits of clothing. a gift of Gov
ernor Russell A. Ager This whole
sale giving by the Governor was part
OF a generous plot conceived by him
some time ago, and kept from the
knowledge of the boys until few
few days since, when it was neces-
sary that they should have their
measures taken. The Governors
generosity in this instance cost him
several thousand dollars, but he was
well paid for it tonight by the happy
looks of the boys.
Thanksgiving Day the Governor
came out of his Office in the Tele-
graph Block. and calling to him a
little Hebrew newsboy, said: 60
fetch all the boys you see. L have a
quarter for every one" As soon as
the youngster recovered from his
astonishment he ran like mad down
the street shouting to every one in
sight. and in ten minutes time there
was a bowling mob about the tall,
dignitied form Of the Chief Magis-
trate The eagerness with which
the boys grabbed their quarters, the
enthusiasm with which the distribu-
tion was received, the cheers which
made Griswald street ring from the
river to the high school, made the
Governors eyes twinkle with pleas
ure as he stalked back to his Office up
stairs. 1t was then he conceived the
idea of doing something more sub
stantial for the lads. He took into
his secret the newspapers of the town
and two of the leading merchant tai
lors. They entered into the spirit of
the plan with commendable interest.
The tailors contracted to furnish good
clothes at low prices and made ar
engagements to fit out IN an expedi-
tious and convenient manner the
small army who were to be the re-
cipients of the Governors bounty.
The names of the boys who were
evenly divided into two lists and the
young boys were first disposed of
A week ago 40 urchins answered to
NAEl udluco anu were Lu6dSu16O III
such a style as each selected On
Monday l20 more were served like
wise and the remainder were served
as their turn came. 1t was arranged
to have each boys suit delivered at
his home last night. Such a night
as that had not been known in many
Of their homes for years. There was
no sleep for many of the boys, who
got out their clothes as soon as the
package was received, tried them on,
and wanted to go to bed in them. 1t
was really great sight this evening
TO see the warmly clad, stylish look
ing little fellows selling their papers
like young gentlemen. The scheme
has been a great success, and the
Governor has been showered with
congratulations for his happy idea.
This is not the full measure of the
Governors generosity, however 1t
is estimated that he has given $4,000
most in money presents to different
public and private charitable institu-
tions in this city, not to mention the
many quiet gifts to worthy families
IN Detroit and elsewhere.

Greyfriars' Bobby.

just off High street, in Edinburgh,
beyond George IVth's Bridge, is a
little drinking fountain with a trough
for dogs attached. 1t is a point of
interest to more than the thirsty, be-
ing unique both in subject and design.
Seated on pedestal is the image of a
shaggy large eyed terrier, whose
averted gaze continually seeks Grey
friars church yard, across the inter
vening houses of the street. Beneath
are the words:
GREYFRIARs' BOBBY.
From the life, just before his death,
and below this, the following inscrip-
ton:
A Tribute
To the affectionate fidelity of
GREYFRIARs' BOBBY.
In 1858 this faithful dog followed
The remains of his master to Grey
friars churchyard and fingered

Erected by the
Baroness Burdett-Coutts.
The story of leal Bobby has been
often told, but is well worth telling
again. While life sits warm at our
hearts. we should remember this other
little heart, so constant and so loving.
He has beeen sculptured, painted,
sketched. memorialized. 1t was a
gloomy day that passed the memorial
fountain and turned in at Greyfriars.
1t was already closing time, but the
old curator let me in, and while
searching for =. Photograph" as he
called it, of Bobby, told me what he
could about him. Bobby lies buried
in iowerbed in front of the church.
For more than a dozen years in life
he made his masters grave his home

votion became its monument The
curator tried as first to drive him
away. but without success; and ended
by letting him do as he would. A
friendly restaurant keeper gave him
food; everybody, indeed, was kind;
and in his doggish heart he must have
felt their kindness, yet outwardly
drew near to none. Why should he,
when his real life lay deep down in

The Texas Press Association will
hold its next annual meeting in the
prosperous city of Dallas. After the
meeting Of the Arkansas editors in
Texalksnna, they will be "e&curted'
to Dallas, there be the guests OF the
noble Texans, and together all take
an excursion to some point OF inter
est. The Dallas Herald saws;
"Let the Arkansas editors take
notice now that they are invited and
expected to join the Texas gang
here next May, at the close of their
session, as the guests of Dallas, and
a cordial greeting awaits them"
We hope the above plan will be
executed, for we know our Texas
brothers will do the right thing. AT
the National Association in Cincin-
natl in 1856, Texas had nineteen del
egates, and nobler, grander set OF
men never attended all association.

The CHURCH INCREASING.

The New York Independent has
Just collected and published the
statistics of the various deuomina-
tions of Christians in the United
States, and the growth therein stated,
Of the las, four years, must be very
satisfactory to the members, the la,
boring and poorly paid priests and
and ministers especially. The to.
tai membership of the churches of
all creeds is 2S,000,000, nearly one.
half the present population Of the
Union, which is set down at 60,Ooo,-
600. There are l32,435 churches
and 01,0l1 regular priests aud
preachers. We doubt If any other
country in the world can make such
an exhibit as this, or if the zeal ran
ifes:ed by these 2S,o0o,oO0 can oe
matched anywhere. In no other
country is there so much heartiness
in support of the churches as in this.
Men and women give freely and with
full hands to build churches aud
maintain missions. Every church
i supported by voluntary oontribu-
tions, and these are as regular as
tbe years. But, returning to the fig.
ures, which are go encouraging to
pious people, We learn from the sta.

The Osceola times., 1887-06-18

States made four years ago, at that
time there were 1850 churches,
81, III ministers and II, 7,267, IT'S com
municants, including 6,832,954 Ro-
man Catholics. These figures do
not include Mormons or Jews. The
year books of 1886 show that the
same religious bodies sow number
132 ,435 churches, 9l,9l1 ministers
and l9,0lS,977 communicates, al
lowing the Catholic population to
number 100000. The net gain of
fur years is thus shown to be 15,-
23o churches, or at the rate of ten
and one-half per day; l,6lS,799 com
municants, or at the rate of lll7 ev-
cry day, 1874 ministers, or more
than 25O0 year. Among the vari-
Gus denominations, the Roman Cath
olics stand first, with a membership
of 100000. The fourteen differ
Methodist organizations come next,
with tota.. membership of 4,532,-
65S; the Baptists third, with 3,727,
020; Presbyterians fourth, with u
0S2, ,436; Lutherans fifth, with $780,
S36; Congregationalist sixth, with
436,379, and Episcopalians seventh,
with +30,53l. The entire Protest
ant Church membership is placed at
l2,0lS,H77. OF the gains of the
last four years, the Methodists are
to be credited with more than one
half the ministers and with one-tbird
of the churches and membership.
The growth of this body is enormous,
it having arisen within 100 years
from a membership of 1900 to A.
132 ,6jS at the close of last year
The churches that are under the
Episcopal form of government are
Catholics, Episcopalians, Methodist'
and Moravians, their combinedmem'
bership aggregaring II, ,7S7, 773. The
congregational polity includes Bap'
nst, Congregationalists, Adveniisis
Friends and some minor divisions oI

membership of 4,520,4l2. Under
the Presbyterian form come the va
'rious Presbyterian bodies. AS well as
the I.utherans and Mennonites, witt
a membership Of l2,7l0,632. Chris
tians Gf whatever name or creed vii
rejoice over these statistics, proving
as they do that the growth of churcl
membership keeps pace with th'
growth of the population, the rapid
